Condensation issue, maybe?

ok, random question. Anyone ever have issues with condensation underneath their biocube? It’s a Coralife 29, it looks like a leak but it’s so slow and never gets worse. I took the tank down and the water was only around the bottom rim of the tank.

Any thoughts?

I don't have a biocube but I would be surprised if you had a condensation issue. Water will condense on cool surfaces. Most reef tanks and their components run warmer than the houses they are kept in so they should get no condensation.

I think it was. It was for a client of mine. It was set up in his office, which is quite warm. I took it down and brought it home with me last night. I left it on my basement floor, with some water in it. No issues at all.

I think I might have to leave it at room temp there, and won’t have an issue.

I sit corrected! If the office was warmer than the tank water condensation would be possible.
